Who hasn't heard of the ledgendary actress Katharine Hepburn, but did you know that she spent 2 summers here in Stratford in 1957 and 1960 celebrating her craft by performing at the American Shakespeare Festival? Until recently, I did not, but the stories I have heard are a fascinating part of our history.
Now we have a chance to join in a lively talk Thursday February 16th at noon. Presented by author and filmmaker Michael J. Bielawa, this unique event will focus on Ms. Hepburn's stay in Stratford, thoughts on Shakespeare, and an intimate look at Kate's Cottage, the little waterfront cabin where she helped bring Shakespeare's works to life.
